What is Nipple Darkening?
Pigmentation and darkening of the nipples as well as areolas are caused by the increase of melanin production. Factors can be genetics, but other stimuli such as friction and the effects of female hormones during pregnancy may cause the nipples to become darker. A lot of women are worried when the color of their nipples become darker throughout pregnancy, added by the worry that their nipples won't return to the original color after pregnancy. At our affiliated clinic, there are 2 treatments are available to treat these conditions - high concentration vitamin C IV injection, as well as vitamin introduction using a special device.
